To trick or treat or not to? 🎃

How are you guys doing Halloween this year? I was thinking about just bringing Hal and Sil around our cul de sac and nearby neighborhood but with everything pandemic related I’m just not sure what the best thing to do is 🤷‍♀️ Halle is dressing up as a monkey (because she truly is one lol) so I’ll be sharing some cute pics of her soon enough. 🐵

Let me know your thoughts! Hoping everyone is staying happy, healthy and keeping a positive mindset (as much as possible anyways). Love love!

3 years married. 2 babies. 1 life, full of love, happiness, forgiveness, vulnerability, so many laughs, a few tears, endless trust and dedication. Love you babe, cheers to 3 years since this day and ringing it in with homemade 🍕 and 🍷. 📷: my pal @jillcoursenphoto MUA: @hpmakeupartistry Hair: @bb.beautyboss

Helllpp! It’s our 3 year wedding anniversary this week and I’m struggling to think of things to go do. We do have a sitter for Hal so I’m thinking maybe we go out (and bring new baby SJ with us obviously). If anyone has ideas of cool things to do in the city other than going for dinner, hit me up! My foggy mom brain doesn’t work and I feel out of touch with what’s happening in the city 🤯 love love.

Here’s a look at the little stinker that’s bee

Here’s a look at the little stinker that’s been keeping us on our toes this last week. It’s hard to believe it’s already been a week, but it has also been the longest week of our lives it feels. Adjusting to 2 kids under 2 has definitely been a challenge 😂 I’m already slightly terrified for when Chris goes back to work. We got home tonight to realize the dog had eaten all the baking off the counter and as we’re dealing with that the baby is crying and Halle is eating diaper cream.. (insert pours a glass of wine 🍷)... I won’t lie though, it’s not the newborn that’s the hectic one 😂😂😂

Silvia is a textbook baby so far, eat poop sleep repeat. We ventured outside as a fam for the first time yesterday which was pretty overwhelming and again today to the Corn Maze which went much better. 😝 I’m feeling really good physically (night and day from last time) and so I’m hoping I’m passed the hardest part. I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving - thanks again for the wonderful msgs and comments about the birth of baby Sil, aka silly Sil, silly girl, SJ, sly, silv. ✨❤️ We are stoked she’s joined our girl gang in this house (sorry Chris haha). 👧 👧 👧 🐕

Our newest little turkey is wishing everyone a won

Our newest little turkey is wishing everyone a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving weekend 🍂 👶

Sadly we weren’t able to ingest a grossly huge amount of turkey this weekend because were still in recovery mode, but i sure am thankful for the life I’ve been given, and for the love you have all shown me.

So please do me a solidddd and eat all the cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie for me 🤤

Happy Thanksgiving weekend friends ❤️

✨Silvia Joyce MacKenzie entered our worlds yeste

✨Silvia Joyce MacKenzie entered our worlds yesterday am at 1:15, weighing in at 7 lb and 2 ozs. She definitely is Hal’s twin! ✨

It is true that no two births are the same. With Halle I had a 27 hour birth which started in a birthing tub and ended up with forceps and epidural because she was stuck. This birth was completely different - I had irregular contractions for 4 days starting on my due date and then tried a few inversions when I got tired of all the starts and stops then boom - things went extremely fast. To sum it up we got into the birthing room at RAH at 11 and she was born shortly after 1. It was the most intensely wild and insane thing I’ve ever experienced to birth a human naturally. Yes, I begged and screamed for pain relief during transition 😂 but there was no time for any of that. The ward was swamped and it would never have come in time anyways so push that baby out was the only option haha. Women are badass warriors.

We are tired but we are adjusting well over here, as recovery does seem to be much easier this time around. Thank you all in advance for the well wishes. I’m interested to see who got the sex and date right 😝👏

Special thanks to my amazing friend @carissamariephotography_ who supported me during this birth even though I thought there was no way I could do it. ❤️ These photos mean the world to us. Love you friend.

Just popping on here to say... YUP. Still pregnant

Just popping on here to say... YUP. Still pregnant over here 😂 lets just say Netflix, baths and gravol have become my best friends.

Also, how about these lovelies with the glorious sunset at the Leduc Dog Park with their fur babies 🐶🐶 @millsybaby16 @caraladean_ MUA: @bb.beautyboss

It’s our due date friends and I woke up feeling

It’s our due date friends and I woke up feeling fine 🤷‍♀️ sooo it seems this baby is as stubborn as Halle was, 😂. Or hey maybe this baby is thinking “oh it’s 2020, hell no am I coming out!” Don’t blame it 😝

I’ve been super emotional lately about losing one on one time with Hal, last night in the bathtub she gave me 3 really big hugs and it brought tears to my eyes because as excited as we are to meet her little brother or sister, I know that things won’t be the same for her ever again. So today I’m going to snuggle this little rugrat and soak her up before we become a family of 4 (well, 5 including our dog who tbh has been misbehaving lately, she must sense a change coming 😏😂).

Ps. I posted a story a while back of our birthing tub and most people assumed we are doing it at home, which to be honest I sometimes wish we were bc of Covid, but we decided to do birth tub in the hospital again (Royal Alex). I’m hoping everything goes smooth, fast and easy this time 👏😝 Wish me luck friends! Hopefully bb will come this week and I can share the big news soon enough. Love love.

October 1st hey - where did the time go? Last time

October 1st hey - where did the time go? Last time I checked we entered into a global pandemic in March, now here we are 7 months later still dealing with the aftermath and no vaccine yet to be released. 🤯 I remember many days of uncertainty at the beginning and now looking back it’s been one of the weirdest years to date for pretty much everyone I know. It doesn’t matter who you are, you’ve been affected in some way. Even money couldn’t buy you safety or solace.
.

On that note though, let’s not forget the positive things that happened this year. Business picked up like crazy for a lot of us photographers which I am so thankful for since work was super uncertain in March, April and May. My fam and I got to travel locally in Alberta a lot which was super nice. Let’s not also forget that love went on - these two just got married and still had their dream wedding despite the curve ball of Covid 19. Sending so much love to these babes! Thank you for modelling for us at @heart_and_dime and for being our trusty HMUA!

Just poppin’ on here to say, yepppp. Still pregnant over here - sorry to all you poor souls that thought the baby would show up by now 😂... and how about these beauties from this years @heart_and_dime retreat?! I finally am catching up with editing here from the beginning of the month. We lucked out big time getting these two to model for us. SO. much. FUN!

Let’s play a game!

Your guess is as good as mine as to what day this baby will come and what the sex will be 🤷‍♀️ SO, let’s have some fun and drop below the date you think and also the sex. My due date is October 4th and I went 4 days late with Hal last time. Things have more of less been the same this time, only thing that’s different this time is that my belly seems to be quite a bit bigger and the baby is definitely way lower. Not sure if this matters to you, but Chinese gender calendar says BOY! What do you win? Bragging rights, haha

Here’s my guess: October 6th and GIRL 👧

Thanks so much to my friend @flintcitygirl for snapping this photo of us amidst the chaos of 3 kids 😂

Currently on our babymoon all the way downtownnnnn YEG (super close to the hospital too haha)! We are about to do a @moderngravity float and then we have dinner planned at @bottega104 and then bowling after at @plazabowlingco! We are staying at the @matrixhotel and it’s been really good so far 👏 Should be a great night to relax with the hubs - this is our first weekend away without our girl and we’re missing her so much but dang it sure is nice to be able to just hang out together with no parenting responsibilities 🙌

Loved this session with @mee.chelle.andrea and @mikedkelo so much! You two are so fun and beautiful together. 😘😘😘

A fairytale day for the most perfect couple ✨ @r

A fairytale day for the most perfect couple ✨ @raynaee My beautiful bride wanted some wide tree shots - your wish has been granted my lurvvveeee.

Today we are hammering out some to dos in the baby room, shelving, curtains, hauling up all the newborn stuff from the basement - you know how it goes, all the stuff that gets forgotten about until BAM all the sudden you have a new human and you’re not prepared haha 👀

If anyone has advice for the life change from 1-2 kids hit me up below! Mom hacks and secrets always welcome here. Love love!

The way she looks at him says it all. Happy birthday to the most handsomest hubby in all of the land, the one who does everything in his power to make life easier and better for us. We love you always babe, thank you for being you ❤️ (he likes to pretend it’s not his birthday so if any of you know him send him a text, let’s blow his phone up 👏😂) @ceemers9

Can I get a wha...whaaatt it’s already the first

Can I get a wha...whaaatt it’s already the first week of Sept?! 🍂

Wellll! I am coming out of my coma over here, this week has honestly been insane but I’m feeling so happy about how everything turned out at @heart_and_dime and my two weddings this week. The weather and my couples have been amazing 👏 and this baby stayed put like I hoped and prayed it would haha.

Thanks x 1 million to everyone involved in my life over this last crazy week here, including my hubby who has been #1 dad and holding down our fort @ceemers9. Today we get to soak up some much needed family time (maybe do some thinking on baby names 😂).. and I hope you all are getting in some slow family time too ❤️
